The Ride Along: A Home Inspection Podcast

The best part about conferences is getting to meet people like Randy and Shante Lambert... the power couple behind Lambert Home Inspections in Northern Virginia. After years of working for someone else, Randy decided he'd had enough and struck out on his own. Since then, he and his wife have managed to scale their business to the point that they don't even invest in paid marketing anymore. So if you're looking for inspiration in growing your inspection business and taking over a market... look no further. And if you're looking for a job... he's hiring.

Nashville area Home Inspector Jeff Frankenstein started his inspection journey three years ago. But he's also been rocking stages globally behind the keyboard for the Newsboys for 30 years.

Well, COVID shutting down the music industry opened the door for the latter... and for the former, you'll have to listen and find out.

Nick Gromicko. If you've been involved in the Home Inspection industry for even a week, you've heard his name.

Oh... and being as she's from Boston... I had to get her take on that one time these guys named Tom and Gronk left town.
